Egypt 2016 & 2018
In 2016 and again in 2018, I had the honor of touring Egypt with Brien Foerster of Hidden Inca Tours and the Khemit School, founded by Stephen Mehler and Patricia Awyan Lehman, with valuable support from Yousef Awyan and our regional Geologist Suzan Moore, and our guide Mohamed Ibrahim. This group drew on the teachings of Indigenous Wisdom Keeper Abd’el Hakim Awyan (1930-2008), Yousef’s father.
In 2016, our tour included about 35 participants from around the globe. Thanks to the tour’s size, we were granted private access to many ancient sites. Egypt, with its rich tapestry of magic and mystery, provided a wealth of experiences and unanswered questions through the eyes of these esteemed researchers.
In 2018, I joined another tour led by Brien Foerster, Patricia Awyan Lehman, and Yousef Awyan. This time, we were joined by Hugh Newman, Andrew Collins, JJ Ainsworth, and our excellent guide Mo Taha, all notable researchers in their own right. With over 72 participants, we had the unique opportunity to visit the Tomb of Osiris, which had reopened for private tours the previous year.
During both trips, we explored numerous ancient sites open to tourists, including:
The Giza Plateau
Home to the three Great Pyramids, the Sphinx, and its associated temples. Also found here are incredibly deep pits that go down about 10 tunnels deep each the inner size of a shipping container and many stretching out into the western desert up to 50kms. We believe these were used to bring water to the sites in ancient times.
The Tomb of Osiris
A subterranean catacombs of several different levels dropping about 200 feet into the earth to a lower chamber housing a green quartzite granite box that comes from Lebanon, but ironically as one solid piece doesn’t fit down any of the tunnels to where it resides now.
The Cairo Museum
Housing countless artifacts and treasures including many anomalous items and some OOPARTS.
Saqqara Necropolis
This is where we find the bent pyramid and red pyramid of Snefaru, which is a title not the name of king and means double harmony. we also find the crumbling black pyramid here, the newly reopened step pyramid and the famous hospital or university site with its mystical practices.
The Unas Pyramid
Renowned for its Pyramid Texts, and the only pyramid with inscriptions within it. Unas means the reflection of the sun,
as the pyramid itself used to sit in front of a man made reflecting pool, much like the Washington monument in DC,
and it also has some deep tunnel systems and pits to bring water from the desert to this site to fill the reflection pool.
The Serapeum
Known for its large stone boxes aligned to perfect north while in small tunnel systems and sunken 6 feet below the tunnels in small alcoves. Each box weighs about 100 tons and would require up to 2000+ people to move even with ropes and pulleys, however there is no room in the alcoves or tunnels for even 100 people to fit. This site is an anomaly and never housed any mummies or artifacts. All of the boxes are made to a pretty precise precision out of diorite, a stone 7 on the MOHs scale of hardness which clearly was not cut dressed or finished using copper saws, chisels or even bashing stones. This site is one that is a complete mystery even though historians say they know exactly everything about it.
The Temple of Seti I and the Osirion
Featuring impressive historical reliefs as well as a subterranean megalithic site called the Osirion, used as a place for water from the nile to wash monoatomic elements in the past as well as in Ptolemaic/Greek times used as a place of study and math and has the famous flower of life red ochre and hydrofluoric relief.
A Nile Cruise, Nubian Village, Elephantine Island
As part of the tour in egypt is on the Nile, we usually rent one of the many cruise liners that take you from Abydos/Luxor region to Aswan or the other direction from Aswan to Abydos. Along the way you stop at many sites, however part of the tour in Aswan takes you across the nile to Elephantine Island and the Nubian village where we see the remains of the ancient Khemetian matriarchy or unity project, where the women handle all of the village fertility and prosperity, and the men handle the tourists and the sales and the physicality of the people. Elephantine island is also an interesting spot and we have the depictions of Maya the traveler from across the seas here as well as other amazing precision cut boxes scattered amongst the rubble that the Germans rebuild over 100 years ago, once this site was excavated.
Dendera Temple of Hathor
Featuring the famous Dendera Light relief and the cosmology of the ancients in the main chamber ceilings.
Luxor and Karnak
Luxor and Karnak are part of the same site, though are about a 3km apart and are separated by the Avenue of Sphinxes or rams. Luxor sits next to the nile and in the 1300’s was a pile of mud, which is odd considering this entire area has been occupied for 6000+ years. In the 1300’s the muslims built a masque on top of the mound of mud, however in the 1880s this was excavated to discover the temple beneath. Both sites are impressive and could take weeks to fully go through and absorm. Here are some great photos from both sites.
Aswan Quarry
Home to the unfinished obelisk 1 and 2 (yes there are 2 at the site). My shoes melted off in 2016 because you are standing in the middle of a granite microwave at 110 degrees temperature. This site defies explanation. Zahi Hawass claims it was constructed and used by ‘slaves, who were happy drinking beer” but when you look at the scooping nd testing pits you know they were using a machine of sorts to dig out the stone, because a human cannot do thiw with the space available or using bashing stones as we are told. Not to mention you would need to clear out half the site to remove the obalisk to get it to a barge on the nile, and due to the buoyancy effect, a 1200 ton stone would capsize the barge while in the loading process even if the nile was low. However after the damn was created and the river dredged, no fallen stones were ever found in the nile. How did they move these items. If 100 tons (200,000 lbs) takes about 2000 people to move, imagine what 1200 tons would require. We see similar stones in the quarry at Baalbek in Lebanon stacked 3 high ready for transport.
Giza Pyramid
Although we visited a lot of other sites in Egypt, including the Valley of the Kings, Komombo, Edfu, Abu Simbel, the Temple of Isis, Tanis, and more… I find that the sites I have referenced here have the most interest to my own studies. The idea for the viewer is to go into the field. On the last day of our tours we usually have a private entrance into the Sphinx enclosure, Valley Temple and Sphinx temple. Then we are granted 2-3 hours inside of the Great Pyramid which is worth the entire trip. As a single tourist you are charged about $300 to go into the Great pyramid only and you are only allowed up the causeway, the Grand Gallery and into the Kings Chamber for about a 30 minute tour. In the private tours they open the entire site up to you. The King’s chamber and the Subterranean areas were the most interesting to me. The King’s chamber resonates at F# and the box resonates at A so toning in this space creates an interesting out of body experience, however when you get into the subterranean area and you go down the dead end shaft which is about 65 feet from the room to the end, however the end is cemented off and has a hoe drilled through it, you can ground. There is also a well shaft in this area closed off but goes down more than 50 feet and obviously has tunnel systems that break off from it, some going towards the tunnels in the Osiris Tomb or Shaft so these sites all connected and water flowed thru them all.
Sphinx
The Sphinx is an interesting artifact for sure. Many researchers believe it to be an ancient Lion (such as Mehler, Hancock, Buval and others…). They think it faces Leo rising on the horizon, however if you really look deep into the Egyptian book of the Dead, we come across the concept of “westing” instead of death. Death didn’t exist, instead it was more a period of decay, where like a Russian nesting doll you would shed the layers of your existence through 8 souls to be finally weighed against your heart and a feather, if you failed this process, you did not reach Akn, the light body, and instead you would return to do it all over again. In this philosophy there are 9 souls (often depicted as 7 according to William S. Burroughs, author of “The Western Lands”, or 8 according to the “Book of the Dead”, both are correct depending on the lens of research, however there are in fact 9). The western lands refers to the concept of Westing or following Amun the setting sun over the horizon into the west to be reborn again. The Sphinx sites guarding the 9 pyramids visible on the Giza Plateau, yes there are 9 pyramids, we have the 3 major pyramids, each displaying an uncanny 8 sides vs 4, and then we have 2 sets of smaller pyramids. These represented the 9 souls in my understanding so the Sphinx guards the 9 souls and the western desert or Duat for the sole to travel across. The Sphinx may have been a lion, re-carved to a black African woman’s face that they tried to put a false beard on found in the Cairo museum, but I feel originally or at least in one of its stages it represented Anubis or An’up to the ancients who guards the lands and the pyramids to the west. This is my theory on this. As a result of visiting this site, there is a small shaft at the rump of the great Sphinx, to which for the right $$ (baksheesh or vig) you can spend about 2 minutes in total descending and taking photos of the underground tunnels we are told do not exist under this monument, but they are there.
Each site is unique, offering a wealth of historical and architectural anomalies. Below are examples and descriptions from each site:
NOTE: In Khemitology, several elements diverge from the modern Greek-influenced interpretation of Egyptian history. These include:
Egypt: The name “Egypt” is derived from the Greek word “Egyptos,” which itself comes from the Greek transliteration of “Het Ka Ptah,” meaning “the temple or place of the physical manifestation of the creator God Ptah.” The term “Coptic” is also derived from this.
The Five Great Houses (Pers): Ancient glyphs reference what are often identified as five great houses, though evidence suggests there may be eight. These are:
- Per Wir: The house of the wise, akin to a university or hospital.
- Per Neter: The house of nature or natural energy, represented by the pyramids, referred to by the Greeks as “pyramidos” or “fire in the middle.”
- Per Ka: The house of the body or double, commonly known as a tomb. Unlike pyramids, which were not used for burials, these structures served as energy centers.
- Per Ba: The house of the spirit or spiritual identity, functioning as a temple or place of worship.
- Per Ah: The high house of the woman. This term evolved into “Pharaoh.” Historically, there were no male pharaohs; all rulers were kings consorted by high priestesses of Isis (Aset), Hatshepsut, and Hathor (the woman of the house). The system operated under a matriarchy similar to what is seen in modern Nubia, where women managed fertility aspects and men managed physical aspects. This is depicted in sculptures showing women with their arms around men, contrasting with the Greek patrilineal depiction.
There are also three other Pers that have been discovered. One being Per A’set or Per Isis, the house of Isis also known as Paris. Per Ankh, or the House of Life. Lastly found in Tanis, Per Oo or the place of many houses found by crossing 4 waters from the great land residing under the sky nature Nüt. This is discussed in more details in lectures on the subject and Hans’ introductory book: Lost Mysteries of Khemit.
There are other Souf/Khemetian concepts, especially those that revolve around cosmology. These are:
The Five Phases of the Sun: Ancient glyphs reference the five phases of the sun according to the Souf/Khemetian cosmology. The Greeks thought there was one phase of the sun, Ra, but this was always only one aspect. The other aspects are:
- Sa’ra: Represented by the dung beetle or scarab, pushing a ball of dung onto the horizon in the early morning. This is where we get the notion of Horus rising, and the words horizon and hours.
- Ra: The adolescent sun depicted with the fierce rays of the sun. This is where we get the concept of sun rays, and radiation.
- O’on: The wise sun usually in the sky in the afternoon. This is where we derive the words noon and afternoon from. O’on or “on” was also the original name for Heliopolis the Greek name for the city of the sun.
- Aten: The wiser or enlightened sun. We derive attention and patience from this word.
- Amun: The veil of darkness or hidden sun. Amun is where the Christian prayer Amen and the Islamic prayer Āmīn come from, however instead of asking the creator to hear your prayer, you are essentially asking for it to be buried in darkness never to be heard.
Overall these trips to Egypt and Peru shattered what I call my “BS meter” and posed many more questions than I had going to these sites. I am grateful to the Khemit School, Horus Rising and Hidden Inca Tours, for bringing me on these tours where I have experienced so many amazing sites. Below are the logos and links to these amazing tour groups I have been on. Please help support Brien Foerster (Hidden Inca Tours), Patricia Awyan Lehman (Horus Rising) and Yousef Awyan and Stephen Mehler (Khemit School) by going on a tour with them. They are amazing hosts and the tours are beyond expectations. You will not be disappointed!
